Hi I am Sharon Johnson founder of The Yogi Cubs Kids Yoga. Yogi Cubs Kids Yoga was created to empower children. It started as a social impact company that focuses on happiness and potential of children. We promote emotional well-being and mindfulness in children through the practice of yoga.

By bringing reflective-based approaches to schools, businesses, agencies, and other organizations, the program can contribute to social-emotional development and overall wellness.

Education

I received a Bachelor degree in 1994 from the College of Charleston with a major in Business Administration. I completed my Masters in Human Services 2019 and my MBA in Social Entrepreneurship in 2022 at Lenoir Rhyne University.

My Master’s thesis was in the area therapeutic behavioral interventions and contemplative practices which shaped my educational and business background to create the blueprint for Yogi Cubs Kids Yoga. I have partnered and consulted with various organizations to enhance their social services. The creation of effective programs, such as anger management, self-care, yoga, and resiliency training, helped improved the well-being of different clientele. The use of evidence-based assessments to measure the impact of interventions was a valuable approach. Additionally, I conducted a pilot qualitative study on self-care strategies and created a self-care workbook for helping professionals to integrate these strategies into their organizations. It served as a resource to support and guide professionals in their own self care practices, ultimately benefitting their well-being and ability to provide effective care to others. Overall, my work has a strong focus on programming, education, assessment and evaluation to ensure the effectiveness of interventions.
